Cannot Obtain An IP Address

The odd part is, I can move the e-cable to another computer and bam! I've got an IP address. On the computer in question, nothing except a 169. address. I've tried releasing but it will not. I've tried renewing but it will not. Help!!!!

Yes, it was a problem with the TPC/IP. I ran HiJackThis and it reported that there was a problem with the winsock LSP entries. The prog suggested that I dl LSPFix from cexx.org/lspfix.htm. I did that, ran the program, and it did discover a problem. The prog fixed the problem, and bam! got an IP address from DHCP.

Thanks to all of your help. Btw, was Ham30 actually suggesting to seek advice in another forum? I would not have never guessed based upon the two word linked reply. I understand that brevity is the soul of wit, however....
